A monster that is clearly water based not having water's strength and weaknesses? What sense would that make? Logically you'd think striking a water creature with lightning would do more damage than striking it with fire, right? Why? Because water conducts electricity.

Why wouldn't a water elemental conduct electricity? It's made of water.
What Elexia said sums it up.

It'd be nice to see more MMORPGs adapt an elemental wheel themselves, really.
